What are you thankful for today?

Partly for fun, mostly for encouragement. Because I know for myself, and probably everyone else as well, an average day is made brighter when I focus on the good rather than the bad, including the small things in life. 😊

Today I'm thankful that LO (little one) only woke up once overnight (around 4:30) instead of 4 times like the night before. I don't know what made the big difference - darker room? - warmer nightie? - having the fan turned on? And who knows what the next night will be like, but for now I'll enjoy feeling more rested! 😁

I’m thankful for an easygoing, resilient and adaptable little man. He’s been in daycare for a month and today he ran up to one of the teachers and hugged her, barely noticing me leave lol. He’s come such a long way from the sobbing baby I had to pry off me a month ago and I’m so unbelievably proud of him.

I am thankful for RAIN! I haven't seen it here (SoCal) since probably May...

I am thankful for RAIN! I haven't seen it here (SoCal) since probably May. We enjoyed it sooo much when it came through earlier.

Too bad we couldn't share some rain with you this summer! 😀 It was dry here beginning of July, enough for our big lawn to die out. Then it started raining and has hardly stopped since. Half our potatoes rotted in the garden. 😕 And once again, my laundry got rained on yesterday... thankfully, today sounds like no rain so it should dry! 😊

I feel like giving in to discouragement because I just noticed mouse turds in the pantry. 😭😭😭😭 With cooler weather, they think they can move in and take over. 😠 Time to clean out the pantry and check for holes in the corners. I guess I should be glad that I don't have morning sickness or anything right now and I'm able to do it. ( though I have baby fever bad enough that I almost wouldn't care if I did have morning sickness, lol.)

Also I am thankful that my second grader cares enough about what others think of him that he acts much more mature at school than he does at home. 😩🙄

Have you tried the plug in mouse deterrents? We had them bad this summer, and it could be a coincidence, but since we've plugged them in, we haven't caught one 🤞🏼

I'm thankful that DH (dear husband) is coming home tonight after being away most of the week. I'm also thankful for a much needed night out for a friend's surprise "Cancerversary" party--and that she's here to celebrate with us five years later 💜

I also have a 7-year-old that is on his best behavior at school (thank goodness!), but I have a feeling it's because his big sister isn't there for him to terrorize like at home 🤷🏼‍♀️
